About This Game

Codex Solis: Purrgatorium is a surreal 3D space shooter with a strange second war beneath it.

Fly through eleven planetary domains in fast-paced combat, hunt archons, survive heavy fire, collect loot, and level up through stylized battles that feel mythic rather than literal. Defeated enemies can also drop cat cards, which carry beyond the shooter layer and become your units in a wider conflict.

Beneath the arcade action sits an asynchronous conquest game spread across thousands of conquerable cells on eleven planetary worlds. Deploy your collected cat cards to attack, defend, and hold territory. Other players can challenge your positions with their own collections, turning each planet into an ongoing territorial struggle rather than a live PvP dogfight.

But territory is only half of it.

Every grid cell is also a verse slot in a living planetary book. When you capture a cell, you do not just take land — you replace its text. Each world becomes a contested scripture written and rewritten by players over time, where conquest and authorship are part of the same system.

For players who want pure action, Arcade Mode offers a fully offline way to jump straight into the shooter experience without the semi-online conquest layer. For everyone else, the larger war turns combat rewards into territory control, public writing, and an evolving solar archive.

Six different weapons, and unique temporary battle power ups, and negative effects, represented by stylized arcana cards.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I’m a solo developer and I use my own cat photography in the game. Some of those photos were transformed into in-game card art with generative AI. Both my original photography and the card art based on it are included in the game. Voice lines in the intro cinematic were also generated with AI. Generative AI is also used when generating stylized weapon & power-up cards. Final assets were selected and edited by the developer.
